Images for buttons in iPhone

Do I have to create (or download) images for iPhone UIButton's? I want a standard button with the iPhone look, but right now, all I can choose between are

NOTE: I believe it was possible to download some image library from Apple before with standard buttons and so on.

You should check out Ray Wenderlichs tutorials. He has a long explanation of making buttons look awesome with core graphics. Best for reusability.

For the given image. You need to make image like that and need to use button type as custom.

UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
 [button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"customImageName.png"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];

You can also define image from Interface builder.

You can use any image you want but you have to use a custom button type like :

     UIButton *button = [UIButton buttonWithType:UIButtonTypeCustom];
     [button setImage:[UIImage imageNamed:@"myimage.jpg"] forState:UIControlStateNormal];
     [button addTarget:self action:@selector(anAction:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchUpInside];
     [self.view addSubview:button];

No you don't. You only have to declare the botton like a Round Rect one and this is all :)

If you are using Interface Builder (or infact even if you are not!), the button types under 'type' should give you the default button types to get the Apple look. Adding your own images would be unconventional.
